www.olivianplayers.com has existed since October 2002. Yet I cannot
find it using the Google search engine. Can you tell me why?

Have you attempted to submit the site to Google?  You may use this
link to add a specific URL to the list of pages for the Google engine
to crawl:

://www.google.com/addurl.html

Greetings, gogo2000!

As your site is designed right now, it will probably not do any good
to submit it to Google. Your site has been created with html frames,
and while it IS possible to use frames and still make a site that is
friendly to the Googlebot, it can be tricky.

Unfortunately, the way frames are used in your current design, to the
Googlebot, your site is next to invisible, has no content, and no
links.

Regards,

gogo2000,

SearchEngineWorld has a Spider Simulator which enables you to see a
close approximation of what the Googlebot sees when it visits your
site. If you plug your URL into the Spider Simulator at
http://www.searchengineworld.com/cgi-bin/sim_spider.cgi

----------------------------------------
Spider title Index 
Spider meta desc Olivian Players, prominent irish amateur theatre
company.
Spider meta keywords  
Spider Text 

----------------------------------------
Spidered Links 
 = spider this link with current settings. 
 = keyword density analyze this link. 
Link 

----------------------------------------
 
You can see that the Googlebot will think that there is no content
(text) on your site, and that there are no links to follow.

Best Wishes,

ace

Hi,gogo2000-ga

Well i dont know if the question is answer or not...but!
I did find your website at google. 

I found it as: (olivianplayers) and as (www.olivianplayers.com)

now they both show no Title on the Html code of your website and your
website always come up name was "index" on the finds.

so i recomend u do this

<Title>index</Title> (before)

<Title>www.olivianplayers.com</Title> (after)

This should show when google is looking for ur site and your friends
will see it as

www.olivianplayers.com
Olivian Players, prominent irish amateur theatre company. 
www.olivianplayers.com/ - 2k - Cached - Similar pages

not how it finds it now

Index
Olivian Players, prominent irish amateur theatre company. 
www.olivianplayers.com/ - 2k - Cached - Similar pages

I hope this helps everything else seems ok on your site
so i dont know about the frame thing "aceresearcher-ga" is talking
about a search engine always looks for the site title, keywords, and
type that u put on the tags of your site it has nothing to do with
frames in that case u would change that information about your website
not from the file but from your domain register place u buy the name
from and put the same info as u have it on the keywords and
description as wwww.olivianplayers.com so it shows it as the first
thing the seach engine will find.
